From: [email protected] (Martijn Oversteegen)I compiled the songs as has been posted before. I added or alteredthe lyrics and corrected the songs and the lay-out a little bit.Credits for the original TABs go to; Jesse Scott, Christopher Mosher,Robert Wolsey, Dan Herold, Mark van 't Zet, Wouter Janssen and GuezOfer. Thanks for all who posted me lyrics and suggestions as well.MTV Unplugged In New York - NIRVANA-----------------------------------All guitars are tuned down a Half-Step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb).On 'On A Plain', 'Something in the way' and 'All Apologies' Kurtplays with Dropped-D tuning (Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb).On 'Plateau', 'Oh me' and 'Lake Of Fire' he lets the Meat Puppetsplay the guitar.The positions of the chords, as played by Kurt, are given for eachsong. These are the so called voicings. From left to right are thepositions on the respective strings. The chords are either notatedabove the lyrics the first time or above the songs. Notes withinparentheses are single notes played on the lowest string (eitherEb or Db), these are notated as if the guitar was tuned normally.In the TAB parts, however, parentheses mean the notes are softlyplayed. All the other notations are as usual (hammer=h, pick=p,slide up=/, slide down=\, rake=x, bend=b, release bend=r andtrill=~). The TAB parts are only solos or riffs; all the other stuffcan easily be derived by ear from the chords given. Kurt eitherstrums the chords or picks random notes from them. Most of the timethe picked notes are from the three lowest strings.Allthough most songs are played by two guitars, only one guitar hasbeen transcribed. The other plays either the same or plays the chordsas mentioned.About A GirlCome As You AreJesus Don't Want Me For A SunbeamMan Who Sold The WorldPennyroyal TeaDumbPollyOn A PlainSomething In The WayPlateauOh MeLake Of FireAll ApologiesWhere Did You Sleep Last Night---About A Girl (Kurt Cobain) -
